Decision-making is the process of selecting and deciding among multiple alternatives regarding the direction and means to solve a problem or achieve a goal or objective. Decision-making is a sophisticated cognitive activity that involves judging cause-and-effect relationships, predicting the future, and evaluating and making choices based on values and preferences.
The decision-making process consists of understanding the problem and situation, setting objectives and goals, exploring alternatives, making predictions about the consequences of those alternatives, and making choices and decisions based on an evaluation of the predicted results. People do not make decisions purely according to their personal will. They are influenced by precedents, conventions, and peer pressure (social pressure). In addition, while organizational or group decision-making can be superior to individual decision-making, it can also be inferior to individual decision-making because ideas and appropriate judgments are stifled in some situations.
